5 little snowmen...

Another crafty day... easy crafts, but fun to know that I am accomplishing some things! This one is for Jackson's stocking and if I have time I will be making them for my neices. :)

I made this "snowman puppet" from a little white stretch glove. I found them at JoAnn Fabrics for $1 for the pair (you can make 2 out of each pair!). I got the idea from Mommy's Treasures, she made pumpkins and monsters. I think my little monster is going to love the "bloves" (gloves).

Here are a couple of poems I will be attaching to the gloves.

FIVE LITTLE SNOWMEN
from this site:
Five little men all made of snow
Five little snowmen in a row
Out came the sun and shone all day
And one little snowman melted away.

Five Little Snowmen
from this site:
5 little snowmen sitting on the ground, (pat hands on floor)
the first one said; "oh my aren't we round." (make circle with arms)
The second one said; "there are snowflakes in the air." (wiggle fingers above head)
The third one said; "but we don't care." (shrug shoulders)
The fourth one said; "lets run and run and run. (pat hands quickly on the floor)
The fifth one said; "I'm ready for some fun." (smile)
Whew went the wind (blow)
and out came the sun (make circle with arms over head)
and the five little snowman knew their fun was done.(pretend your melting)

Five Little Snowpeople

from this site:
Five little snowpeople, jolly and fat. The first one waved a big, black hat. The second one clapped his hands in the cold. The third one's eyes blinked and rolled. The fourth one stamped his feet up and down. And the fifth one turned around and around.

sledding

Our internet wasn't working very well last week... so this post is actually from LAST weekend... but here are some pics anyway!

Jackson is not very fond of sledding... he kind of cries and screams when you put him in his overalls. Gets giddy to be putting on his boots, but doesn't like walking in the coveralls in the house... gets outside, falls pushing the shovel. We finally get him on the sled and he cries some more.... and this was the 2nd experience!!

Andy took Jman sledding on Saturday while I was shopping with my mom. He drug him around the yard and Jackson whined... then they went sledding down a hill and Jman FREAKED out!

It was only the first time... it was way too cold previously!! (For me, not Jackson). He loved watching Andy throw snowballs at the tree. He even ejoyed holding his own snowball... but he was much happier on the cement or in the garage. He is my child after all. I don't like playing outside much.
